Former Newark Airport TSA screener says the job does little to keep fliers safe. “These are the employees who could never keep a job in the private sector. I wouldn’t trust them to walk my dog.” “We’re not any big deterrent. It’s all for show.” Well, they’re probably as good at their jobs as the Dept of Energy or Edumacation employees are at theirs.

"If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots." Junius P. Long
This routine is a hand me down from the cretan Norman Minetta.
It should be called the Minetta Minuet" There is no practical purpose except wasting time.
The Israeli program is 100% effective and they don't check luggage, talking to passengers is more effective.
Ahhh But in Amerika we can not profile Muslim Terrorists, only small children and grandmas....we would not want to upset Obama's buddies....They might get mad and Jihad us when we are not looking. Remember that not all Muslim's are terrorist, but ALL terrorist's are Muslim.
These guys are with the TSA only because they have cooler uniforms now than when they were flipping burgers at McDonald's.
And better pay.
But,..........do they give you a badge, and tell you that you have authority, like at TSA?

McDonald's actually requires a higher IQ and more work.
LOL!
Good one.
Better yet, ask them how many dangerous people has the TSA stopped and how many completely innocent grannies, toddlers, and babies have been unnecessarily groped, embarassed, and made to cry?
Are you guys trying to tell me that something ran by our government isn't working as effectively as our politicians promised it would?
Seriously though, ask them this: So, how many dangerous people has the TSA stopped and how many have been tackled by passengers during the flight? They hate that question.
A job for Crowley ?
No just kidding !!!
Too much thinking involved for him .
He might have to leave the basement. I can't see it.
too much WORKING involved for him...
Crowley won't look for a real job when he has found a way to make money sitting on his ass, watching TV, eating Cheeto's!

Education, energy, labor, TSA, DHS.. Billions, and Billions, and Billi... hell, Trilions wasted!
Our kids can't read..
After 30+ years we are still dependent on foreign oil,
Unions have bankrupt car companies and laid waste to dozens of state and thousands of city/county budgets,
Time wasted at airports checking in has disrupted lives of millions and protected none, and
Our border security is a joke.
I see some great places to cut government spenging that is nowhere near social security or even the entitlement programs for those who acutally need them!
No surprises here, I wonder how many more of these useless idiots are stealing people's things out of their bags and selling them on E-bay.
This is what it looks like when the government scrapes the bottom of the barrel in finding qualified people. NONE of them would be qualified to be in law enforcement, all of them are TSA all the way, Totally Stupid Assholes.
I stand by my comments from the past on the TSA. This proves what many in LE have known for years. They are worthless and just there for a show and to hassle the public, fondle the good looking women and make everyone's trips a pain just for their amusement. Time to go away.
You forgot about the stealing from passengers, and making children cry.
And embarrassing old people about their Depends. Becasue, you know, they might be terrorists, despite the fact they can barelywalk down the jetway.
